# Beware of Scams

Once you're inside Kinto, you're protected by the many security features enabling you to have the safest on-chain experience possible. 

However remain vigilant, especially outside of Kinto - please double-check any information is coming from a legitimate source and when in doubt NEVER click a link. 

We have seen multiple accounts on Twitter impersonating Kinto and attempting to get users to click malicious links. 

These accounts duplicate our Kinto account and buy bot-followers. They retweet posts from our real account - which means that unless you look at their handle directly it can seem very convincing. 

They comment directly under our own posts impersonating Kinto and attempting to get users to click malicious/scam links.

Examples can be found below.

When in doubt, whether in relation to Kinto or any other organization:\
\
1\) NEVER click a link until you have confirmed it is from a legitimate source&#x20;

2\) Always recheck where the information is coming from - go to the source and check their accounts - ask for confirmation

3\) Keep bookmarks of legitimate sources to refer to&#x20;

When on Twitter, always check the Kinto account you are looking at has the handle [<mark style="color:purple;">@KintoXYZ</mark>](https://twitter.com/KintoXYZ) and the blue tick next to 'Kinto'.&#x20;
